Fri, 24 May 2019 18:18:30 GMTAnyone got any idea if there's a formula to calculate predicted time for say a 10k with or without lots of ascent Not sure if that sentence makes sense but...I did a 10k along a hilly track today, 220m of climbing in first 5k. Took me 49 minutes. It felt hard going. I haven't done a road 10k in about 10 years and was about 42ins for a flattish course. I'd there a way to predict my 10k time on a flat course from this? Or do I just need to go and do one. Neil

Fri, 24 May 2019 10:31:30 GMTI see Teresa May has announced the date she'll leave, and that Boris Johnson is the bookies' favourite. He's certainly very different in most ways.

Normally in these situations someone comes from left-field and the 'favourite' doesn't get it. What do people think?

So change of topic. Section 21 repeal

The government has done little on anything else (except zoo animals) but has also dropped a bombshell. The lunacy of repealing sec 21 for rental property, the right to serve notice. Affecting all tenants and landlords.

And as a result, ( and the increasing hostility of legislation to landlords even by Osbourne) now I have been "sectioned" or threatened with it, I have sold out of all of my UK letting properties, which offered a quality of living the tenants could hever have afforded individually at affordable price to 2-3HMO tenants . All sold same day they were advertised, to people who want to live in them.

Incidentally the considerale pool of ex EU tenants, is why I know how bad it is in some of their home countries, which is part of the consequence of the failure of the euro.

I understand 40 percent of landlords are either selling up or intending to. It will be a catastrophe for tenants. In scotland when similar was enacted, it pushed up rents 20 percent. How can it ever help? Tenants when asked if they want longer terms invariably say no, not wanting to be bound by it.

The ridciulously short time given for consultation (only 8 weeks) indicates the government feel obliged to consult but have no intention of listening. Indeed intend to do it in order to steal Comrad Corbyns clothes. A report that had to be seen to be written, but was not written to be read. All the other landlords I know are quitting or seriously considering it.

It will have a disastrous effect on the rented housing sector. There are not enough properties even as we stand.

Im curious, what are the views accross the spectrum of renters and landlords.

Contrary to rumours that have been circulating recently the Boar's Head pub has not shut down but is re-opening its doors to the public in its new, re-furbished version this Friday (24th.May).

Consequently the Boar's Head race WILL take place as planned and the pub WILL be the registration and Prizegiving venue. I hope this re-assures intending competitors that their journey will not be in vain.

Mon, 20 May 2019 20:07:26 GMTHi all,
I'll be in the UK over summer, based in South Lakes. Having DNSd my first race at Easter due to a wrecked hire car, I'm still to break my duck. Any recommendations for a first, longish, race? I thought of Borrowdale but heard they require previous experience of L length races (have done AL equivalent Spanish trails which I doubt would count)
Kentmere? Sedbergh? Sat poring over the fixtures book but no clue really.
Have already pencilled in Bootle show at the end of August as it's organised by my club. Any must-do races?

I live in a 10yr old rented house. Very good house, extremely well built.

I set the central heating to the lowest possible settings: 16C day and 10C night. Fact is, the indoor temperature is never below 21C.

I spoke with the owner about this in the past, she said "it's because the house is well insulated", which is wrong. Yes, the house IS well insulated, but that's not the reason the temperature is so much higher than what we set. Heating engineer allegedly controlled the system and stated it's fine. At the time I decided not to bother as my language skill were so poor that it was too much hassle (I live in Germany, I spoke very little German at the time). Now I'm also inclined not to bother as we're moving soon.

It's got to be the thermometer/thermostat simply wrongly calibrated.
It sucks.

Similar experience?
